This extinct, prehistoric class of jawed fish once dominated the oceans have been resurrected in this update.

Placoderms were in many ways very similar to sharks whose have been developing alongside placoderms. As air bladder was not yet evolved in their times, both of them required thick, not very movable pectoral fins that helped them to convert motion into sinking, rising or being upright.

Titanichthys - Great map - largest placoderm that decided to go whale-filtering style

Armor on their head and thorax did not allow for very efficient gill movement, so they had to keep swimming to not drown. But unlike the naked sharks the armor also reduced their elasticity and streamlining making them very vulnerable to attacks from back. They had to face any attacker with their head, so they developed a large tail fin to counter the turning problem.

Most of placoderms turned their facial armor plates into thick ( not real ) teeth that were very effective at crushing / breaking through most of Devonian prey armor (mostly arthropods and other placoderms).

Dunkleosteus - before named 'Browurag'The pop-star of placoderms

Game changes

Placoderms take heavily reduced damage from front and increased damage from back

Placoderm AI has been adjusted to face threat, instead of running away with slow speed

Snap passive now charges even without mouth open and increases bite speed.

Green Moray

-was hard to take a screen as they are not usually seen Replaces old eel visually and gets a AI rework to hide in between rocks.Still will need a better rework as in real life they have second pair of jaws to help them swallow prey, but that's on a list for Mosa's dentist as well.

Herbivores / Coral fish

Wachuma visual rework

Blu visual rework

All fish now instead of running straightforward from predator attempt to run away from it's way and mouth, so when the predator is too close they'll go behind him and then away.

Herb/Coral fish have now have way reduced speed but increased agility.

Barracuda

Replaces old eel visually and gets a heavy stats rework to appear more fast accelerating and streamline predator. Also they and Goliaths have been temporary removed from Great map.

Xiphactinus

Why not just throw in one of those kick-ass predators.

Sharks

Game changes

Now can not stay still but have to keep swimming - like placoderms

Shark AI now attacks bigger prey from back or side. 2x especially when attacking pacoderms.

Shark AI now attacks crabs / crustaceans prey from bottom.

Shark AI now does not let go, to utilize their passive.

Cartilaginous skeleton makes them way quicker to turn around than bony fish similar to their size.

Megalodon is now way bigger.

Other species and their cost have been adjusted.

Tiger sharks and Hammer heads now eat each other.

Great White (boss in ocean map) - now eats big chunks of meat instead of just big fish

Crustaceans

- all eyes in game are now shiny

Now take reduced damage from top and increased from bottom.

Trilobites received burrowing animation,

Crab AI now defend them selves way more effectively. ( scales with game difficulty )

Other changes

-new catfish model

New fluid like tail animations on most bigger fish.

TESTING FEEDBACK - under 30% HP after few seconds fish go into "wounded" state, they can't swim properly and turn bellies upwards. During this time they bait nearby predators.

Big fish now cost more but drop more meat.

Big meat now takes longer to break but gives more exp.

Some of the reworked fish don't have babies reworked.

Starfish like food now gives more exp.

Optimization - you can now bite at max only 10 objects.

Some of the reworked fish don't have babies reworked.

Ocean map is now available for testing on multiplayer.

Ocean Map

Heavily optimizations have been done, should yield at least +40% FPS

New rocks have been added for Morays to hide within. ( we will continue on updating the map visually in next updates )

Our 2 years old implementation of multiplayer was way too hard to maintain and too complicated to even just setup. So we've decided to create a new easier, simpler and more stable one.

The old one was so deeply connected with everything in game that we had no other choice than to just rewrite 80% of whole game logic code. (spaghetti code ) After constant three months of removing - fixing - implementing. Somewhat stable "release-ble" version is in our hands, ready for further debugging.

We have also improved our error reporting tool to send us the location the error occurred and the stacktrace so we can start fixing these pesky bugs.

The temporary solution we came with, seems to work well enough despite the latency and packet loss connectivity over the internet comes with.btw piranhas are broken

Looking for feedback

We know that the current deathmatch mode is broken in it's essence, yet it's the most flexible mode for a "very" nice multiplayer experience. That's why we've added some sandbox-like server settings that let you guys set what fish should spawn, how many and at what price.

So please somehow ignore any game beaking bugs (restarting the game should fix most of them and we will start working on them as soon as we get the bug reports)

Finally go and try some of the entertaining modes which we will make into presets. For example try playing as swamp crabs, trying to jump over waterlilies while dodging predators underneath.

Other changes

Pike - Remake

Piranha - remake

Puffer fish - Remake

Megalodon

and some seals

Version 0.9.0a

-Fixed a unavailability to spawn in survival mode.
